My inventionrelates to improvements 1n;

bandages for correcting don le chins and preventing the formation oflines around. the

mouth and it; consists of the features of novelty hereinafter describedand claimed. The object of the invention is to pro'vi'de a chin'banda'geof this character which is soigure. 1 is aviewillustrating-the"application'of the banda eg and Fig. 2 is a perspectiveView of the andage.

The bandage comprises upper and longitudinally curved straps .1, 2having their ends converging and united, as at 3,

and their inner intermediate portions-sepa-- rated to pjrovidean,opening i. By con structing t longer and ower strap 2 will engage thebottom of the chin and the shorter and upperstrap 1 the tront of thechin, while thev or point of the chinwill be disposed in the opening4:.- 'lhe lower strap 2 is comparatively broad and its front edge isex-,..

tended at its center to provide a-v-shaped projecting portion 5; so thatthe fleshy art of the chin will be effectively supporte b the bandage.The upper stra l is of sue width that it i 'll support the esh upon thefront of the chin and at the sides-of thev mouth and thus prevent theformation of mouth lines, and at the center of its bottom edge is formeda ii-shaped notch d'which receives the lowerend or point of the chin'and permits the upper strap to more'efi'ectively accomplish its intendedpurpose. The

ends 3 of'thebandage are formed with ill-- wardly extending \l; sh apednotches 7- to receive the ears and to provide projecting arms or endportions 8 which pro ect-above and below the ears and have attachedtosea inceeiea or was Patent. Applloatibzi filed- 121110111907- seen it;376,800;
